Stroke is a disease in which the sufferer experiences bleeding or blockage of the brain arteries. The focus of this research is the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method in stroke disease classification and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) method as an approach to understand more deeply the decision-making process used by the CNN model. There are 3 models used by OzNet, ResN…
The U-Net architecture has a fairly deep network. The addition of layers in the U-Net architecture network can increase the complexity of the U-Net network which can affect the training time to be longer and parameter enlargement. This study modifies U-Net by reducing the complexity of U-Net by removing the bridge part of U-Net. The removal of the bridge in U-Net is known as V-Net architecture.…

Steel is still the choice as a structural material for earthquake-prone areas, because in addition to having high strength, the elastic properties of steel contribute to better ductility and energy dissipation than concrete. In relation to seismic problems, there are several earthquake-resistant steel structural systems that can be applied to buildings, namely; Moment Resisting Frame (MRF), Ecc…
